Paradise By The Dashboard Light

In the style of

Meat Loaf

Lyrics

well i remember
every little thing
as if it happened
only yesterday

parkin' by the lake
and there was not
another car in sight

and i never had a girl
lookin' any better
than you did
and all the kids
at school
they were wishin'
they were me
that night

and now
our bodies are
oh so close and tight
it never felt so good
it never felt so right

and we're glowing
like the metal
on the edge of a knife
glowin' like the metal
on the edge of a knife

c'mon
hold on tight
well c'mon
hold on tight

though it's cold
and lonely
in the deep dark night
i can see paradise by
the dashboard light

ain't no doubt about it
we were
doubly blessed
'cause we were
barely seventeen
and we were
barely dressed

well
ain't no doubt about it
baby got to go
and shout it
ain't no doubt about it
we were
doubly blessed

'cause we were
barely seventeen
and we were
barely dressed

baby don't ya
hear my heart
you got it
drownin' out the radio

i've been a-waitin'
so long
for you to come along
and have some fun

and i gotta
let ya know
no you're never
gonna regret it

so open up your eyes
i got a big surprise
it'll feel alright
well i wanna
make your motor run

and now
our bodies are
oh so close and tight
it never felt so good
it never felt so right

and we're glowing
like the metal
on the edge of a knife
glowin' like the metal
on the edge of a knife

c'mon
hold on tight
well c'mon
hold on tight

though it's cold
and lonely
in the deep dark night
i can see paradise by
the dashboard light

though it's cold
and lonely
in the deep dark night
paradise by
the dashboard light

you got to do
what you can
and let mother nature
do the rest
well
ain't no doubt about it
we were
doubly blessed

'cause we were
barely seventeen
and we were barely
we're gonna
go all the way tonight
we're gonna
go all the way
tonight's the night

we're gonna
go all the way tonight
we're gonna
go all the way
tonight's the night

we're gonna
go all the way tonight
we're gonna
go all the way
tonight's the night

we're gonna
go all the way tonight
we're gonna
go all the way
tonight's the night

stop right there
i gotta know
right now

before we
go any further
do you love me
will you love me
forever
do you need me

will you never
leave me
will you make me
so happy
for the rest of my life

will you take me away
and will you
make me your wife
do you love me
will you love me
forever
do you need me

will you never
leave me
will you make me
so happy
for the rest of my life
will you take me away
and will you
make me your wife

i gotta know
right now
before we
go any further
do you love me
will you love me
forever

well let me sleep on it
baby baby
let me sleep on it
let me sleep on it
i'll give you an answer
in the morning

well let me sleep on it
baby baby
let me sleep on it
well let me sleep on it
i'll give you an answer
in the morning

well let me sleep on it
baby baby

well let me sleep on it
i'll give you an answer
in the morning

i gotta know
right now
do you love me

leave me
will you make me
so happy
for the rest of my life
will you take me away

and will you love me

right now

before we
go any further
do you love me
will you love me
forever

well let me sleep on it
will you love me
forever
well let me sleep on it
will you love me
forever

i couldn't take it
any longer
lord i was crazed
and when the feeling
came upon me
like a tidal wave

started swearing
to my god and
on my mother's grave
that i would love you
to the end of time
i swore
that i would love you
to the end of time

so now i'm praying for
the end of time
to hurry up and arrive
'cause if i gotta spend
another minute
with you
i don't think that
i can really survive

i'll never
break my promise
or forget my vow
but god only knows
what i can do
right now

i'm praying for
the end of time
it's all that i can do
praying for
the end of time
so i can end my time
with you

well it was long ago
and it was far away
and it was
so much better
than it is today

well it was long ago
and it was far away
it never felt so good
it never felt so right

and it was
so much better
than it is today
and we were glowing
like the metal
on the edge of a knife

well it was long ago
and it was far away
it never felt so good
it never felt so right

and it was
so much better
than it is today
and we were glowing
like the metal
on the edge of a knife

well it was long ago
and it was far away
it never felt so good
it never felt so right

and it was
so much better
than it is today
and we were glowing
like the metal
on the edge of a knife

well it was long ago
and it was far away
it never felt so good
it never felt so right

and it was
so much better
than it is today
and we were glowing
like the metal
on the edge of a knife

well it was long ago
and it was far away
it never felt so good
paradise by
the dashboard light
